Yep, I didn't try to hide it. Usually I have rgx accounts, most of my alt ones are so. Yann is a favourite nick too.

I don't have any real dark, hidden, deep state accounts.

Yes, I would love to write about it. Even more than that, although time is stretched as it is, and I am neglecting some of my work areas to be putting this much into these projects, posts, blogs, etc.

But it's fun and enjoyable, indeed.

Yes, Markdown is so lovely. Easy formatting and quickly we can get beautiful pages and documents done.

I use it always when posting at my Glitch and Pleroma accounts.

Then back to here, and it's a major let down. :(

@freemo @globcoco

@globcoco

>> Sorry, don't get your question?

He was just confirming my use of both accounts.

@a1batross

Yes, and Coralie is a wonderful new friend who just joined us here at Qoto.

Presentation is always very important - we are competing for attention, a rare commodity when there is so much going on, so much noise.

So make the posts nice looking, well laid out and attractive. And everyone wins.

Wonderful Paul, I am so glad you liked it and took it in stride.

Forum mods can edit any posts, and I could have done it -- but it was better to suggest and let you decide. Glad you did! 🙂

Thank you so much! Got my curiosity.

Thank you, Coralie! That was a wonderful user report, a glowing indication on how it pleases you. I concur - and am quite happy to be able to use Pinafore all the time now.

I first encountered it early in my journey into understanding the Fediverse. Although I have been in many different computer networks since the early 90's, I just joined fedi in November, 2019 -- my 8 months anniversary just passed.

Back in November I was looking for and reading Guides, so I could understand and get to know more; the day to day instance life in mastodon is only a fraction of all the is going on at anytime.

Tried different clients as well, and Pinafore was a surprise at first try -- the speed and lightness, clean design, all wonderful. I have always favoured efficient, lean software, so it is right down my alley.

Sadly, for at least two months, we suffered here at Qoto with a instance config problem; it did not communicate to any clients (other than the mastodon web client) the real maximum toot limit, which is 65 thousand characters.

All the other clients, Tusky, Pinafore, etc -- they used the default 500 chars, and that was a show stopper for me.

I was pained, loving Pina but being chained to that stupid 500 chars limit. Argh, so I had to use the web client mostly, for that reason.

Sometime in January a big bunch of updates and fixed corrected that, and we finally could enjoy it properly -- I remember taking and saving snapshots of the Toot editor showing 65,535 chars as I was ready to start.

Even after this mega reply, there's 63, 956 left now, lol.

sorry for the long post, but storytelling is good, I love it. And it is real recent history of life here.

Thanks indeed to Nolan for wonderful work. I do the best I can to spread the word. #Pinafore is for elite and power users.

Regular users too, if they bother trying and understanding what it offers.

@nolan

@11112011 That is such an unfair and undeserved advantage.

Imagine, you can print (or computer generate, pure Bits and Bytes) all the currency you want, and the world accepts it on payment for REAL goods.

I would love to see new Reserve Currencies come up. A few would be better than one too. Maybe one backed by bullion, under verified storage in a neutral country.

That would make a splash.

Rollo, shall be appreciated by all, except Hans. 😛😾

@a1batross they sure deserve it. 👍🎉

@proto_azure There are, but it's pretty late for most of us. Going to bed now.

Hello, and welcome to Qoto.

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator

Casey Rollins made a video to explain the Fediverse, here :

"I made this video awhile back to help explain how the #Fediverse works."

* Discovering Pleroma -- An Alternative to Mastodon *

It’s on the Forum for now, but it’s basically finished; will have to resize images for the blog, but I like it.
